GenGAME writes: At E3 a few weeks back I got the opportunity to speak with Reinhard Pollice, the product development director over at Nordic Games, to talk about the Darksiders and Red Faction. Pollice was able to confirm that Nordic Games is in fact exploring new ideas for sequels in both franchises, even indicating that a Darksiders III is a bit further along in the process than a new Red Faction.
Now that all of Darksiders' horsemen have been explored, it's about time we get the epic team-up the first game left us hanging for.
Embracer went on a massive studio buying spree in hopes one deal with saudis would go through and it didn’t.
Now they are shutting down studios and looking for cash after spending most of it on acquisitions.
I wouldn’t get my hopes up for anything that Embracer owns.
They need to get out of this problem they made for themselves but it may never happen. They f’d up big time.
Darksiders has little hope at this moment
Darksiders III on Nintendo Switch is a mostly well-done port that is likely to take a lot of people by surprise given its huge graphical upgrade over its previous generation predecessors. While the game itself is far from perfect, it should be commended that even with a few downgrades here and there, the overall integrity of the game remains intact and officially completes the entire Darksiders series being available on Nintendo Switch, which lends itself nicely to handheld play despite a AAA production that's as epic and grandiose as the series has ever been.

The story was unique, and the combat was satisfying with creative level design. For whatever reason, I never picked up Darksiders III. So here we are in 2021 and Darksiders III has been ported to my preferred portable gaming device. This is why I held off on reviewing this game until my Nintendo Switch OLED arrived. At least 90% of my gaming on the Switch is in handheld mode and I wanted to experience this horrid creature-infested world on the new vibrant OLED screen.
Despite the issues with the game itself, Darksiders III still looks great on the Nintendo switch OLED model.
Red Faction Guerilla 2, pls.
Ahhh that's who owns Red Faction..I'd love to have another one. I personally liked it better when it was first person, but I beta tested and loved Guerilla too, so I'd be down with another like that. It'd be seriously awesome if they teamed with MS to use cloud compute for world destruction and such. Seems like it'd be a great match.
Didnt know about the Darksiders collection, never got to play the game, so I think I'm getting it.
Darksiders 2 is actually one of my favorite ps3 games. I am only moderately into the bulky grunt-ish art style, but the gameplay, environments, and music were all top-tier stuff for me. I'm playing another playthrough right now actually as I wait for the next ps4 game to come out that I really want.
I wish they would return to the awesomeness of RF2, just open world.
